§ 02 — About Paldean Fates

A look inside the set.

Paldean Fates presents a 245-card collection in the Scarlet & Violet series, structured with 219 Pokémon and 26 Trainers. The rarity profile is defined by a deep Shiny Rare run, supported by smaller tiers of Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Hyper Rare, and a focused group of Special Illustration Rares. Across the set, the dominant visual language is cartoonish, playful, and colorful, with cheerful and lighthearted moods appearing most often. Compositions tend toward motion and clarity, balancing dynamic staging with straightforward character focus.

Among the set’s visual highlights, Mew ex and Gardevoir ex stand out as top-scoring artworks, with Charizard ex close behind. The overall look stays bright and energetic, frequently pairing vibrant color with pastel or harmonious accents, and occasionally sharper contrast for emphasis. Artist coverage is broad, with 92 illustrators contributing; the most represented include Kouki Saitou, 5ban Graphics, nagimiso, and Shin Nagasawa, giving the set a varied but consistently upbeat surface.

Compositionally, it leans dynamic yet readable—balanced layouts, simple staging, and frequent character-forward framing that keeps each card visually immediate.

II · Illustrators

The set’s most frequent credits include Kouki Saitou and 5ban Graphics, alongside nagimiso and Shin Nagasawa. Together, their repeated presence helps anchor the collection’s consistent emphasis on clean, playful character rendering and high-color presentation across many entries.
